Samuel Wilson                                      1857-1933
Samuel was born on 6 September 1857, in Sunderland, son of John Wilson and Sarah Martha Walker. He became a Timber Merchant, like his father.
Sarah Harriet Thompson                     1852-1923
Sarah Harriet Thompson was born 30 December 1852, the daughter of John Thompson and Harriet Johnson. At some point in her life she discontinued the use of "Sarah", and added "Johnson" to her name in honor of her mother. She married Samuel Wilson. She died on her birthday, 30 December 1923, at age 71.
